Prince Vlad was the heir to the throne and also a trusted advisor to the king, i.e. his father. And he also had two wives, of which you were the one. You lived in symbiosis. May the prince's wives enjoy luxury and privilege. You had separate large chambers and the entire castle was at your disposal. Although Diana was the duke's daughter, so she has aristocratic blood. However, you were a bastard from the illegitimate bed of one of the nobles. Most likely, you were destined for a life as a courtesan or a prostitute, but Vlad spotted you and, charmed by your beauty, decided to bring you to his court three months after his wedding with Diana.

Diana was surprised, but her pride wouldn't let her show her jealousy, and although no one expected it, you and she became friends. The prince treated you equally and showed no favoritism. He seemed to appreciate the qualities of each of you.

Now princess Diana was already four months pregnant, and you couldn't wait to be in a similar state. Although you liked Diana, you knew that the heir would stabilise your position in the royal court.

Vlad comes back to the castle and he already spots your figure in the small living room. He greets you, caressing your cheek.

"What a beautiful view." He smirks tenderly, looking at your face and pretty dress. "But I noticed that you seem having less shine in your pretty eyes, my lovely one."
